ATgTTibl8 Surgical Operation
! l.tFATAL MISTAKE.
= Tnr Cleveland Ohio Press,

: THE Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February 23d, 1888, pub
lished an account Of a fatal
surgicaloperation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Tbayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom-
ach, which lad resisted the
treatment Of all the physicians
in attendance, The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased
After while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief,
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justlf-
able. Accordingly, on the I'D
of February, 1855, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Polrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, Dr.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliweil Of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror aad dismay
of the doctors ti,ere was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered tllat they lad made
q terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration for
this was what the disease really
was,, she would have been liv-
ing to-day.-SHAEEr EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SAosI.'s CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
-pressly for Dyal c lsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing tbs class of
cases is too voiuminous to be
published here; but those who
read the Published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question It's convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

About Polygamy.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 17.-Judge
A. j. Carleton, chairman Of the Utah COM
mission, In an interview with Gazette
reporter, says: A short dispatch from
Washington has occasioDed considerable
misapprehension with several newspapers
30 to the real import of the minority report
signed By General John A McClernond
and myself The ultra anti-Mormons of
Utah, for the last five years urged the
commission to recommend to congress g
legislative commission for Utah. This
plan has been characterized by Senator Ed
munds as un-AmericaD, revolutionary and
unconstitutional. and our commission have
declined TO recommend 1t. Many anti
MOrmons of Utah also favor other and
further hostile legislation. but McClernond
and Carleton agree with Chief Justice Zane
of Utah that the existing laws of Utah,
diligently and strictly enforced. may reas
onably be relied On to work the cessation
Of pOlygamy as a practice; and We also
agree with Senator Cullom Of Illinois and
Randolph Tucker Of Virginia In favor Of
an amendment to the constitution Of the
United States as a means of dealing with
pOlygamv In all the states and terri
tories. In many occasions we have found
1t impossible, conscientiouslv, 10 follow
the advice of the ultra non Mormons, con
g. quently our commission has been often
criticised by them for five years, and now
the authors of the minority report are Gen.
sured In virulept manner Ia some quar-
tiers really for maintaining the aforesaid
views, but on the assured ground that we
are in plot with the Mormons for the ad-
mission of Utah. There is no truth In
this; on the contrary, we expressly declare
noninterferepce In our report"

PADUCAH, Ky, Oct. II AT noon today
| when the Two sons of Mrs. Steve Moore
who resides ON farm some three mile!
from Ogden's Landing, In Ballard county
this state, returned home to dinner they
were Mortified to find their mother
stretched upon the floor of the kitchen
with her throat cut She bore
the appearance Of having bsen dead
for at least two or three hours. There
were evidences in the. kitchen Of 8 severe
struggle, and is believed that the old lady
fought for her life bravely. Ga the step
outside was chicken with Its head cut off
and partly plucked which It Is supposed
she had killed and was preparing for dinner
at the time she was assaulted. The house
had been ransacked and plundered.
No clue to the perpetrators Of the foul
deed has yet been discovered,
although parties of men are scour
Ing the country In all direc-
lions. The cause of the murder was
undoubtedly robbery, as 1t was known
that huckster or buyer Of c0nntry pro
duce for the market was in the habit of
making his headquarters at the home of the
MoOres and frequently left considerable
sums of money there while he visited the
farms In the neighb0rhOod plying his
business. The deceased lady was about
60 years Of age and the widow of one Of
the earliest settlers In Ballard county.
Naturally her terrible fate creates the most
intense excitement In the vicinity where
she lives.

PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 17-Miss Carrie NJ
WorthiDgton, daughter of ex- Congressman
w. f. WorthingtOn, was drowned In PEG
ria lake this evening about $50 O'Clock
She was one of party Of eight who had
been pp the river on the pleasure steamer
Lotus on an excursion. When the boa,
landed at the foot OF Main stree,
Miss WOrthington was missing and
could not be found. Fifteen minntes
before she had left her friends on the top
deck and gone below, and that was the last
seen of her. People ON shore heard screams
cut on the lake, about two blocks above
Main street, just before the boat landed,
but strangely the people on board, except
the engineers wife, did not hear any
screams, although they were talking quietly
and the engine was making very little
noise 1t Is considered possible that Miss
Worthington may have fallen overheard Ia
a faint aud nave ,vered in uySe
enough to scream before going
down, when the boat had
gone too far ahead for those on board To
hear her. Ex Senator John Lee broke the
news 10 her father, and he was completely
dazed and bewildered by the sad intelll-
gence. Men are dragging the lake In the
hope of finding the body. The deceased
was very bright, intelligent and lovely
young lady. She was an accomplished
pianist, an expert photographer and type
writer, and was employed as a clerk IN the
office of the collector of Internal revenue
She was In prime spirits and in good
health on board the boat
